MAIN BUS ROUTES PLACES OF INTEREST
WALK AND RIDEIf you normally use a car, walk and ride
could transform your walking. You’ll see
so much more by replacing one leg of
the walk with a short bus (or train) ride.
If you’re �red of having to walk round in
circles to end up back at a car or if you
would like to see twice as much of our
stunning Na�onal Park without having
to take twice as long to do so, try a
buswalk or trainwalk.
You will find that by dumping the car
and trying walk and ride you’ll
rediscover your lost walking freedom.
